Lloyd’s of London Underwriters, Brokers, and their Kentucky Agents recently presented the University of Kentucky’s Maxwell H. Gluck Equine Research Center $45,000 for the continued support of The Lloyd’s Equine Disease Quarterly. This year marked the 15th anniversary of Lloyd’s support for this equine health research publication produced by the University of Kentucky’s Department of Veterinary Science.

Over its 22-year relationship with UK’s Department of Veterinary Science, Lloyd’s has given more than $800,000 in support for research and other activities. This support includes the production and distribution of the Lloyd’s Equine Disease Quarterly, an award-winning publication that provides timely research-based reports on some of the most important issues facing the equine industry. The Lloyd’s Equine Disease Quarterly currently reaches more than 18,000 readers in 87 countries and is translated into several languages. Available on the internet, its articles are regularly abstracted by a variety of scientific and lay equine publications worldwide.

“Lloyd’s has been licensed in Kentucky since 1937,” said Julian Lloyd, chairman of Lloyd’s Livestock Committee and Bloodstock Underwriter at Hiscox. “Our longstanding support of the Department of Veterinary Science is further testament to Lloyd’s enduring and unique relationship with the Commonwealth.”

Chip Harkins, president of Lloyd’s Kentucky Agents Association, agreed. “Lloyd’s is a critical financial partner in Kentucky’s equine industry, and as agents we are proud to play a role in that special relationship,” he said
